At 42, birthday girl Jennifer Garner looks better than ever!

The movie star showed us all how it's done on premiere night for Draft Day, which already hit theaters last week. She turned heads with her "less is more" look, lighting up the green- and white-striped carpet that resembled a football field.

While her newest film is about draft picks in the NFL, sports is nothing new to the mom of three, who seems to be raising a team of athletes! In a recent interview with E! News, she mentioned her son Samuel loves football. "He can already sit and watch an entire game," she raved. "He really gets it." Her little guy must take after his father, Ben Affleck, who according to Jennifer is a football fan, too!

Asked if her girls like athletics as well, she replied they are ready to try out for sports and play hard! We're sure Ben and the kids are proud of the Draft Day star. Maybe the famous family can celebrate Jennifer's birthday over a game of family football!
